Day two in St. George was Sunday. We were going to go to the 9:00 ward, but we were all way too tired, so we settled for the 11:00 slot. We arrived and took our seats among a sea of white and gray hair. Everyone stared at us, and loved that our kids were there. It was a very interesting fast and testimony meeting, and we were talking about how being in a ward with everyone in the same stage of life as you can be very beneficial and fulfilling.
After Sacrament, we took some pictures outside of all the kids in their aloha attire.
We returned home, ate lunch and rested. When the evening came, the kids were getting restless, so we decided to go see the temple and walk around for a while. It was beautiful and nice to get out and enjoy being on such sacred and special grounds.

After the temple, Cam suggested we go see the Dixie rock. I was totally up for it, especially since hiking that thing during the day was just not an option with the heat.
We arrived at the rock and it was actually getting much darker, so we wanted to hurry!
I laughed, because I was in a skirt and sandals, so I slipped around and found it hard to get good footing while we scaled the mountain.
Once we reached where you needed to riskily climb up another ledge to get to the lookout point over the city, Cami and I decided to stay with Clara, Lena and Aaron, while Josue and Erwin took the other 3 kids up to see the sights!
They loved it.

If it had been during the day, we could have had the kids play so much more in these caves that were all around. But the enjoyed the small simple ones we could easily reach.

We arrived home pretty late, and had to wash all the red dirt off our shoes and feet on an outside spiket. It was a nice evening and ended with the adults staying up and playing more card games. :)
